Lizzie 16

F-RATED

Triskel Arts Centre is proud to announce its association with The F-Rating initiative. Developed in the Bath Film Festival in 2014, the F-Rating is a new film rating which will highlight those with a strong female voice.

To earn an F-rating, a movie has to answer yes to one of these three questions: does it have a female director, does it have a female writer, or are there significant female characters on screen in their own right? Triskel Arts Centre has voluntarily incorporated this rating.

Based on the infamous 1892 axe murder of the Borden family in Massachusetts in 1982, Lizzie is a captivating and evocative portrait of a young woman accused of a brutal crime. Chloe Sevigny stars as the terrorized, yet headstrong, daughter and prime suspect in the investigation of the murder of her parents. Kristen Stewart is the newly arrived housemaid Bridget Sullivan, a kindred spirit for Lizzie. Strained family relationships, a secret romance and a claustrophobic and oppressive society are at the centre of this psychodrama. This compelling psychological thriller offers a new slant on a fascinating and divisive moment in history.
